Benefits of changing CSC code? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I live in the UK but my phone is a grey import and has csc AFR. I have the option to change it to a UK csc but it will factory reset my phone.
Are there any benefits for me if I changed my csc code to a UK one? I have just updated my rom to the latest french 4.1.2 but my csc has stayed the same.

if you change the Csc to United Kingdom Unbranded you will not have the 4.1.2 update, the BTU (uk unbranded) Csc is still 4.1.1 in galaxy note 2. As of other benefits you wont even see a change the Rom is the same and everything in it is the same. so stay with that csc.

There is something like HD Voice and this service might not be enabled if your CSC code doesn't agree with the country you live. And I think that thanks to proper CSC your mobile internet settings should be set properly too. I don't know if that has some importance for available services in Play store, but it might have.

Hd voice isn't available on my network (o2) and my Internet settings are set up correctly from when I first put my sim card in my phone. Also the play store has been working fine for me so far.

Install the latest stock rom.
mb2 for france.
Then change csc.
If you wouldn't mind a factory reset then you can do it.
But no major benefits.

[APP] CSC Changer

Hi everyone,
This is a simple (root) app I made to let you change your CSC on a number of firmwares across multiple Samsung devices. Simply push the button, and you will be sent to the list of CSC codes, where you can choose whatever CSC. Credits go to Perka, who thought of this and posted the method in this thread. I merely made an app to do it.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, LIKE PERFORMING A FACTORY RESET. MAKE BACKUPS OF WHATEVER YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOSE.
The files on your SD Card will not be touched.

It is the country code that specifies what country you're in. Sometimes, it also specifies a carrier.
It is mostly used by Samsung apps to determine whether or not you can, for example, download an app from their store.
I think, though I could very well be wrong.

SGS3 with Omega 37. Another user of the same ROM has just confirmed that he has managed to change from EUR to DBT. I used both this app and also CSC selector from market but none worked. Could it be that I have installed the latest bootloader (ELLA)? I don't have anything else different, or could it be that my country csc is not supported for change?

Nah, changed is changed. Maybe it is the bootloader, but it should work on LLA... This should work normally. Maybe wipe and reflash?

Do you use a different recovery than stock or version 5.5.?
I use Philz recovery and I can't change csc. After some search I found 2 ways:
flash this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684535 -> change csc -> flash your favorite recovery again
Or
Change the csc before flashing your favorite rom (extract rom zip and copy/replace the correct files; repack the rom folder to a zip) -> I don't have the suitable link right now, so please search in xda for the right way.

I try many methods but none works with SGGD. My seller ROM is TPH (Portugal) and I want to change in XEO (Poland) and... I was root this phone, new CWM, SuperSU, CSC Change from PG Store and others f.e.

CSC changer, does not work for me.
Hi, I have found a way to change CSC code already. Just follow my method, because it works on my Galaxy Grand :good:
1. You must check whether if your ROM support your country's CSC. For example, mine is XME.
2. Then make sure you have prepared the Firmware which contains your country's CSC and your phone is rooted with the CSC which is not your country. For example XXV. (You can check with the CSC Changer).
3. Use any File Explorer with Root access (eg: ES File Explorer) browse through /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. Open it using text editor and edit to your country's CSC and save. Again, go to /system/csc/sales_code.dat change it again.
4. Reset the bin counter to 0 using Triangle Away if necessary. (You can also skip it)
5. Reboot your phone into download mode and flash the stock ROM again.
6. After ODIN has done flashing go in to recovery to check whether your have applied your country's CSC. You will see a text like: "Applied Multi-CSC: XME"
Hope that helps.
try this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
It worked for me. As with any CSC changer it will reset your phone....
It NOT works in my phone When I try change Again, go to /system/csc/sales_code.dat change it again. phone display info: Error occurred when trying to save the file. It will not be saved.
but when check my CSC by CSC Changer it show me XEO not TPH, because I could change CSC code in /efs/imei/mps_code.dat. Why I can't change TPH to XEO in /system/csc/sales_code.dat? Kies still show TPH.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE (GT-N7105) GSM 4.3 update

maybe this is asked before but someone have link for this? Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE (GT-N7105) official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
i have GSM version ( T-mobile Netherlands) someone got it fixed already or at least link for working GSM version. i found a link to "Nordic version"
but i dont no if this is good one...
help please.. and sorry for my bad English language.
Sammobile puts all firmwares Samsung releases up on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
If it's not there Samsung probably hasn't made one for your region.
Other regions version works most of the time, but you will probably have problems getting support if you bought the phone in Netherlands, but has NEE firmware... And if your phone is locked to T-Mobile you might also have problems.

I have updated it using Odin 3.07 with N7105XXUEMK5 and root with Odin 1.85 using CF-Auto-Root-t0lte-t0ltexx-gtn7105.tar.md5
SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Andromizer works.
I need help though. All apps that help mount USB Drives (Stick Mount, USB OTG Helper and Paragon) because its NTFS formatted will trigger a "Security Notice" "Unauthorized access to a secured area was blocked" with a Shield icon in the notification.
It seems like a security block. Any idea on how to work around this? I did not install Knox. Not sure what the Shield icon is.
Once it's triggered, the app/action taken will not be allowed.
HELP!
Looks like i have no NEE version and i am not locked on t-mobile

I think you have to connect your phone to your PC and open Kies to check what version you have.
I have OmniROM 4.4 on my phone, so I can't double check that.
Found a few screenshots on Kies.
Looks like version XEU here http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4686/Kies1.PNG

What's not available there? Kies or the ROM?
As far as I know you can download Kies from anywhere.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/#downloadWindows
You can't downgrade with it, but it will tell you what region you are in. Just download Kies, connect your phone with a USB cable and look under Firmware info to see what region your phone is from.
Then you can download the latest available version from Sammobile. If you don't see 4.3 there for your region then Samsung has not made it available for you yet.
Kies is available not the new firmware

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Debrand?

Hello, I purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G. Everything is ok, no problems etc. But unfortunately it comes with Vodafone apps and widget other bloatware. Is there way to debrand Note 10 Plus 5G? Thanks in advance.
N976B variant? VDF UK?
Yes it is N976B.
Ok. And sim card?
I've the note 10 plus 5G on 3 UK and it's on unbranded BTU.
Are you UK Vodafone?
Came with only Samsung bloat, no 3 apps at all which makes a change for them.
Would flashing the BTU firmware not work?
I'm using EE. I bought from CEX unlocked. But as I wrote come with preinstalled apps. Even after factory reset.
Service provider SW version:
VOD/VOD/VOD
Updating CSC to global (GCF) cleared all carrier bloat for me, BUT IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA IN THE PROCESS SO BACKUP FIRST.
Can you give BTU OXM firmware link for Note?
Use frija or samfirm :
replace XEU with BTU

NO! Samkey tool is for unlock the phone. To change CSC you need RealTerm and combination file for your device for access factory binary .
This is how to use RealTerm to change the CSC ...,for note 9 , which i did for note 9.

This Method is not working anymore as from S10 and Note10 Flashing Combination firm is impossible. I managed to change my CSC on my Note 10+ 5G (SM-N976B) using two credits bought from eBay on SamKey.
I had the default OXM XEF France and went to BTU.
Hope this helps
With Samkey I changed to BTU/BTU/VOD. All is good now.

looks like I have to go down this road, which site did u buy credits from and does 3 credits enough to change csc?
You need only two credits. So 1 credit will left unused. I purchased here:

Question Indian firmware with European Z FOLD 4 (SM-F936B)

I just saw online that India Market got the new update (F936BXXU1AVIH) with September security patch.
So my question is, as i have an european model with the same model number (F936B), what is the risk if i flash this firmware ? As i know that it's not gonna change my 4G/5G bands anyway, so i'm guessing maybe an OTA issue after flashing this firmware (like not receiving them as i don't live in India).
Sorry if it's a stupid question :-/
No risk, CSC HOME and all good. I do it.
Ok, thanks for your reply
And what about future OTA updates ? Will it still be working ?
Yes.
Yesterday I installed the Indian version on my European version Fold 4, there is no problem except that it does not pass the Safetypass and I cannot make contactless payments.
No Root, no OEM unloock, just ODIN upgrade (firm from Sammobile).

I confirm that i can no longer make contactless payments as well, but i never used it anyway so not a big deal for me... i hope that there will be no others bad compatibilities like this one.
Will update on a newer European firmware later or just flash the AVIH European firmware when it'll be released

It's very strange that the India version does not pass Safetynet's CTS checks. I also used the Home_CSC, I had never had a similar problem. I will wait to try with another region when it comes out.
Same here....Some week ago I bought a Z Fold 4 with EUX CSC and immediately changed CSC to INS using SamFW ver 2.1, Wallet worked like a charm until latest security update installed some days ago...Now, reverting CSC to EUX, does not solve the problem...

So you're saying that you reverted back to the last Eurpoean Firmware and that you can't still use GPay ? Or you just tried to changed the CSC without flashing European firmware ?
